Since Father Villaprovedo cannot accept the chaplaincy of the regiment which Father Walsh offers him and as Father Lamare would be glad to accept it, leaving his curacy of the parish of St. Bernard at New Galvez, (English Turn) (Louisiana) to Father Villaprovedo they beg Father Walsh to allow this arrangement. (Note dated) December 16 (and signed by) Father Walsh. Let the proper communication be sent to the governor (Francisco Luis Hector, Baron de Carondelet). Copy

The arrangements suggested by Fathers Lamare and Villaprovedo seem very convenient to him. Father (Pierre Joseph) Didier, (O.S.B.) and Father Peter of St. Paul (Paul of St. Peter) of New Madrid, (Missouri) and St. Genevieve (Missouri) inform him that Father (Peter) Ledru, (O.P.) pastor of St. Louis, (Missouri) has left his parish. He thinks Father Didier should be placed at St. Louis and Father Fabian, O.M.Cap. should be placed at St. Ferdinand, (Missouri) and St. Charles, (Missouri).
